Reliability of fast magnetic resonance imaging for acute ischemic stroke patients using a 1.5-T scanner.
Article in European radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo determine whether fast scanned MRI using a 1.5-T scanner is a reliable method for the detection and characterization of acute ischemic stroke in comparison with conventional MRI.
methodsFrom May 2015 to June 2016, 862 patients (FLAIR, n = 482; GRE, n = 380; MRA, n = 190) were prospectively enrolled in the study, with informed consent and under institutional review board approval. The patients underwent both fast (EPI-FLAIR, ETL-FLAIR, TR-FLAIR, EPI-GRE, parallel-GRE, fast CE-MRA) and conventional MRI (FLAIR, GRE, time-of-flight MRA, fast CE-MRA). Two neuroradiologists independently assessed agreements in acute and chronic ischemic hyperintensity, hyperintense vessels (FLAIR), microbleeds, susceptibility vessel signs, hemorrhagic transformation (GRE), stenosis (MRA), and image quality (all MRI), between fast and conventional MRI. Agreements between fast and conventional MRI were evaluated by generalized estimating equations. Z-scores were used for comparisons of the percentage agreement among fast FLAIR sequences and fast GRE sequences and between conventional and fast MRA.
resultsAgreements of more than 80% were achieved between fast and conventional MRI (ETL-FLAIR, 96%; TR-FLAIR, 97%; EPI-GRE, 96%; parallel-GRE, 98%; fast CE-MRA, 86%). ETL- and TR-FLAIR were significantly superior to EPI-FLAIR in the detection of acute ischemic hyperintensity and hyperintense vessels, while parallel-GRE was significantly superior to EPI-GRE in the detection of susceptibility vessel sign (p value < 0.05 for all). There were no significant differences in the other scores and image qualities (p value > 0.05).
conclusionsFast MRI at 1.5 T is a reliable method for the detection and characterization of acute ischemic stroke in comparison with conventional MRI. KEY POINTS: • Fast MRI at 1.5 T may achieve a high intermethod reliability in the detection and characterization of acute ischemic stroke with a reduction in scan time in comparison with conventional MRI.
